1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Myeloid-related protein (MRP) 8/14 complex is a marker of monocyte and neutrophil activation. We evaluated whether serum MRP8/14 complex is associated with clinical manifestations and pathological findings of Henoch-Schönlein purpura nephritis (HSPN). Patients were divided into two groups based on serum MRP8/14 complex levels at renal biopsy. Group 1 consisted of 18 HSPN patients with less than median (670 ng/ml) MRP8/14 complex levels, and Group 2 of 12 HSPN patients with greater than median levels. Clinical manifestations, laboratory findings and serum E-selectin levels, as a marker of vascular endothelial cell dysfunction, as well as histological and immunohistochemical findings were investigated for both groups. We also measured MRP8/14 complex levels in disease control and healthy control children. Urinary protein excretions, serum MRP8/14 complex levels, and serum E-selectin levels were all higher in Group 2 than in Group 1 patients. Serum MRP8/14 complex levels were higher in HSPN patients than in controls. Serum MRP8/14 complex levels were strongly associated with serum E-selectin levels. Pathological findings revealed that the proportions of patients with ISKDC grades III, IV and V in Group 2 were higher than in Group 1. Our findings suggest that serum MRP8/14 complex levels might be associated with the severity of renal injury and endothelial cell dysfunction in HSPN patients.
